Chateau Beaumont 2019, Haut Medoc, 75cl
Chateau Beaumont is a historic Cru Bourgeois estate, ideally situated on the Left Bank between Margaux and Saint-Julien. Its large 113-hectare vineyard forms a single block on deep gravel soils overlooking the Gironde, producing classic Haut Medoc known for its elegance, harmony and excellent value. Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure, complemented by the softness of Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot.
The 2019 is classic claret from a great Bordeaux vintage and brilliant value - fresh and classically styled, with black fruit, cedar, pencil lead and tobacco. Perfect with roast beef or lamb, grilled steak, hearty casseroles and mature hard cheeses.
"The 2019 Beaumont has a delineated, fresh, cedar and pencil lead infused bouquet, lifted black fruit, light tobacco scents that emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly brusque tannins on the entry, but I appreciate the edginess and tension of this wine and the grip it exerts on the finish. Worth seeking out."
